A-to-Z Challenge: V

Since the All-Time Ninja Captain, Mr. Alex J. Cavanaugh, tagged me in his V post, I've made the slight tweak to get my V post up early. So, I'm sleeping in this shirt tonight. Thanks, Alex! It's an honor. I have a special image below, just for you.

The end is near! And not in the Mayans 2012 kind of way. The Challenge nears the end, and so we go on.

V is for Voltron.

Because if anyone can protect us from the Mayans and their crazy predictions, it would be Voltron, Defender of the Universe.

Again, if you didn't catch it, but this Voltron in the image? Yeah, it's a USB Flash Drive. Amazing. I want one.

All right, since it's the middle of the night and I don't usually post until the morning, I don't have a writing for this Wednesday. I was going to do a Nerd haiku in Alex's honor for tagging me, but I decided on this shirt that I have dubbed:

Love the Voltron shirt. And the ninja shirt (and TOTALLY want that flash drive. Bad.) Though I must admit, while I am decidedly a nerd, and do love ninjas, I'm sort of team pirate. I'm a pirate nerd. Or maybe pirate-ninja nerd. Does that exist? If so, it's me.

It's a USB drive!?! I would love one. As a kid, like many kids of my age, I had part of a Voltron. I had the torso, a leg and an arm. It was like amputee Voltron. Never knew anyone who had a complete set. Lament.

Please don't shun me...I had to look up Voltron. (my nerd is at the library) I kept thinking he may have been a cartoon version of that thing that the Power Rangers made. I'm blaming my parents who didn't have TV when we were kids!

Alex, the Amazing Ninja Captain sent me. Nerds of the world, unite! Here are my two favorite nerd jokes.

3 out of 2 people have trouble with fractions.If life gives you melons, you know you're dyslexic.

I'm word nerd by choice and a math nerd by degree. Used it to teach and tutor for a season. Now I'm lucky to be home with my two teen boys and be "the house" where all gather. I like that designation. Upon arriving home, the first question is usually, "How many extra do we have today?" Big grocery bills, lots of chances to know your kids' friends. it's a good thing.My theme for the challenge has been lessons in Swedish. A word, a cultural thing, and a childhood memory in each post. It's been a fun ride.Tina @ Life is GoodCo-Host of the April A to Z ChallengeTwitter: @AprilA2Z #atozchallenge

Lady Gwen - A dog named Voltron? Awesome. I knew someone with a dog named Jango after Jango Fett. Same woman whose husband convinced her to name their son Anakin. She didn't know until way after her was born.

Sarah - Cool yes, but also very costly.

DEZ - Is it animated or live action CGI?

Princess - I blame them now, too.

Johanna - Thanks for coming by. Alex's word sure gave me a boost yesterday. As if there was any doubt.

Donna - I'm thinking I need to find this Ninja shirt myself. And for one of my co-workers.

Matthew - Word.

Cherie - And I'm so glad that you did.

cleemckenzie - What's next? The letter W, of course.

Donna - Probably the same way I sleep in these tees every night.

Jaleh - Good call!

Lance - Voltron tee was at Target. The Voltron flash drive is waaaay too much money.

M Pax - I used to watch Voltron and He-Man religiously as a kid. Thundercats was always my favorite.

Annika - Never heard...?

Golden Eagle - I know, right? Ninja CSS is brilliance defined.

Tina - And there are 10 types of people when it comes to binary.

Smedette - Thank you. You're welcome.

Cora - Better amazed than disappointed.

Scope - I never thought about it before, but yeah...why not just start with the sword.
